Having come to terms with the changes in his heart, he writes one important letter to the princess who gave him the last chance he'll ever need, but soon thinks better on it, deciding to tell her face to face.

Discord has surrender to friendship and has agreed to let Fluttershy reform him. Will their relation stay friendly or will something more powerful bloom between them? Fate has a great plan for them and it's yet to come...

The Newly Reformed Discord turns a doll and a rock into sentient ponies during a bout of intense boredom. The only problem is: Sentient beings tend to have minds of their own. Oh well, it'll be fun to watch, so long as Celestia never finds out.

Short, sweet, and heartwarming. It's always nice to see this side of Discord in stories. It makes him seem more like an actual individual than a cartoon character when authors present this side of him.

A nice look at the new Discord, and featuring the breezies was a really nice touch. It's good to see a story about Discord that isn't totally insane, and that actually has substance and meaning. Nice work.

I don't feel like this really resolved properly. Like, one moment, fluttershy is worried that Discord isn't really happy, and then the next she say's he's improving and reads him the first friendship letter he wrote. And then it's done.

4046169Alright. With all the writing present, it all boils down to the same old relationship we've known from the show writers in regards to the Fluttershy/Discord dynamic. You added nothing that I can sense. In the show, Discord, the spirit of disharmony, realizes that there is more to life than simply...being. This is a turning point for the character as it allows him to open up to new ideas including friendship. Your story reflects what we already know. The relationship they two have is special and they're good friends. Discord was a villain but not a villain proper, that he believed himself to be a villain. We don't see the character in a different light that advances understanding of him. Instead you just copy. I don't feel that you depicted Fluttershy accurately. She wouldn't have seen him claiming friendship as forced. She helped him and gave him an opportunity that only he could have taken on his own, even without threat of imprisonment in stone. I don't know where you have supposedly met the prompt. I really don't. Discord is a friend by this point and even casually refers to Twilight and others as friends. Discord also wouldn't have been so thick as to misjudge Celestia's reaction to him as anything but reasonable. But he is still a trickster to the very end. I think the breezies reference went nowhere but took up too much of the overall story. I am not sure why they were added really. Fluttershy was also too forceful in the way she spoke. So, the story just takes advantage of a hyper popular character relationship just for the sake of taking advantage of low hanging fruit. You add nothing and yet you are still popular which attests to the overall way that stories are treated here from what I've seen. It's a pity. I stand by my rating. I dislike your story and think you could have done better.
